Our Books in Ukrainian

We strive to have our books available in languages that help children and families learn and become a part of the countries where they live, while maintaining their own cultural heritage. Many Ukrainian children today are currently living around Europe and the world, so that they are safe from the Russian invasion.
Libraries that we work with struggle to keep enough material in Ukrainian on their shelves for the children that are hungry to learn, experience the world, and maintain their national language while attending school and living in other cultures and languages.
With your help on this project, we will:
1) Employ a native language Ukrainian translator and editor, paying them fair rates
2) Complete the graphic design for the hardback, paperback, and e-book in line with our current quality standards
3) Make the e-book globally available for free (or the lowest possible sale price). We will continue to donate books to schools and libraries in line with our original mission.
Help us to help Ukrainian children around the world maintain their language and identity!

The total amount needed right now is an estimation for the translation, editing, and graphic design work for all four of our books. Our Ukrainian translator lives in Kyiv. Sarah and Katy donate their time and efforts. If our donations exceed costs, we will purchase books for donations to schools, libraries, and non-profits with Ukrainian language needs.
